As the referendum draws near, the debate surrounding it becomes increasingly complex.

The Uluru Statement from the Heart calls for treaty and truth. It proposes a Voice to Parliament as a pathway for our nation to forge new, more equitable relationships between  First Peoples and those who arrived since colonisation. Will saying ‘yes’ to the referendum achieve this goal? If Australians vote ‘no’, what might the alternative paths to creating a more equitable relationship be?

Join two of Tasmania’s most experienced Aboriginal leaders as we critically consider the ideas and arguments that have formed the debate, and ask where the outcome of the Referendum will take us as a nation.

Speakers:
  -  Kerry Sculthorpe, Tasmanian Aboriginal leader
  -  Michael Mansell, Tasmanian Aboriginal leader, activist and lawyer
Hosted by Professor Rufus Black, Vice-Chancellor, University of Tasmania
